1/2 oz British Gold Britannia Coin - Year Varies

Add one of the United Kingdom’s most recognized modern gold bullion coins to your collection with this 1/2 oz British Gold Britannia Coin. Struck by The Royal Mint, the Gold Britannia is known for its classic Britannia design, strong global recognition, and appeal among bullion buyers and world coin collectors.

Each 1/2 oz Gold Britannia contains 1/2 troy ounce of fine gold and carries a £50 face value. Modern Gold Britannias are struck in 999.9 fine gold, with the 1/2 oz version listed by The Royal Mint at 27.00 mm in diameter.

The reverse features Britannia, the enduring female personification of Britain, in the classic design by Philip Nathan. Modern 2021-and-newer Britannia bullion coins may also include advanced security details such as micro-text, a latent image, tincture lines, and surface animation, depending on the year received.

Year varies based on available inventory. The coin shown may not be the exact date received. Packaging may vary by supplier inventory.

Important Note

Because this is a year-varies product, the date, obverse monarch portrait, packaging, and security features may vary from the photos. Do not assume a capsule, box, certificate, or original Mint packaging is included unless shown in the product photos or confirmed by the supplier.

One important detail: The Royal Mint states that Gold Britannias were originally struck in 22-carat gold, then changed to 24-carat gold in 2013. If your supplier may ship pre-2013 dates, I would update the wording to say “contains 1/2 troy ounce of fine gold; purity varies by year” rather than calling every example .9999 fine gold.
